Möhnesee in winter dress

Fields covered in snow, treetops sprinkled with powdered sugar and a water surface that reflects the beauty of the lake shore in a fascinating way - this is how breathtaking Möhnesee is in winter. In clear, cold air, hikes at this time of year open up special panoramic views from various vantage points and the Möhnesee tower. The Völlinghausen Wildlife Park and the Hevesee and Hevesee nature reserve are particularly popular with migratory birds as wintering grounds. Winter events invite you to enjoy a cozy get-together, while the ice sports center offers the opportunity to skate and watch ice hockey tournaments. For those who like it sporty, an hour's drive takes you to the ski areas of the Sauerland.

Winter hike on Lake Möhnesee

Experience the Möhnesee in winter in a very special way. In the morning and evening, wafts of mist drift over the water, frost and snow glisten on the trees of the Arnsberg Forest Nature Park and the panorama is incredible. The Hevesee nature reserve is also a popular wintering ground for all kinds of birds. It is worth taking a careful look at the water and shore from the viewing balconies on the nature promenade.
